_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #2: Can reproduce. I reduced Paul's exhibit further. $ cat EXPERIMENTS/eggert2.roff .ie \nA .tm register A is truthy .el .ie t .tm in typesetter mode .el .tm in terminal mode In terms of the `tm` terminal messages above, I get equivalent results on all of _groff_ 1.22.3, 1.22.4, 1.23.0, and git HEAD; Heirloom Doctools _troff_ and _nroff_; DWB 3.3 _troff_ and _nroff_; and Seventh Edition Unix _troff_ and _nroff_. I'll share output only the last since it's the most interesting in an archeological sense.

Setting to "Minor" severity because it is only an annoyance and does no violence to formatting. Still, would be nice to fix because spurious diagnostics reduce confidence in others. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65474> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
